DNA content in fresh versus paraffin-embedded tissue. Flow cytometric analysis of 100 tumors.

DNA ploidy analysis was determined on 100 consecutive tumors from a wide variety of sites using both fresh and paraffin-embedded tissue on the same specimen. The correlation coefficient (r) value between the methods was 0.85. Aneuploidy was detected by both methods in 51/100 (51%) of the cases. Fresh tissue analysis yielded 10 additional cases (overall 61% aneuploidy) not detected on corresponding paraffin-embedded sections, whereas paraffin-embedded analysis detected 4 additional cases (overall 55% aneuploidy) not revealed by fresh tissue analysis. Fresh tissue analysis produced lower coefficients of variation and resulted in a cleaner preparation with less cellular debris. Fresh tissue analysis was also superior to paraffin for the detection of hypodiploid, near-diploid and multiple peaks. Analysis of paraffin-embedded material allows examination of archival tissue and provides a more rapid means of long-term follow-up and statistical correlations for prognostic studies. Although the overall correlation of both methodologies for DNA analysis showed a minimal variation in results, in our experience fresh tissue analysis has an advantage and is preferable, when available, for ploidy analysis.

Contextual analysis and intermediate cell markers enhance high-resolution cell image analysis for automated cervical smear diagnosis.

Until now, efforts to automate cervical smear diagnosis have focused on analyzing features of individual cells. In a complex specimen such as that obtained from a cervical scrape, diagnostically significant cells may not be adequately represented or may elude detection by the automated technology. An approach is needed that extracts additional quantitative information from cervical smears beyond what the cell-by-cell approach can provide. A new methodology, contextual analysis, was developed to extract global quantitative information about cells, cell clusters, and background debris. This pilot study was designed to compare the efficacy of contextual analysis with high-resolution, single cell analysis and the analysis of intermediate cell markers. Thirty-four samples prepared as monolayers and stained with the Feulgen-Thionin/Congo Red stain were measured. Contextual analysis alone was able to classify 91% of the smears correctly; single cell analysis classified 94% of the cells correctly; and the intermediate cell analysis correctly identified the smear diagnosis for 84% of the cells. When all three analysis methods were combined into a simple smear level classifier, the overall smear classification accuracy was improved over those obtained using the three methodologies alone.

A weighted least squares method for inverse dynamic analysis

Internal forces in the human body can be estimated from measured movements and external forces using inverse dynamic analysis. Here we present a general method of analysis which makes optimal use of all available data, and allows the use of inverse dynamic analysis in cases where external force data is incomplete. The method was evaluated for the analysis of running on a partially instrumented treadmill. It was found that results correlate well with those of a conventional analysis where all external forces are known.     

Computerized microscopic analysis of prostatic fine needle aspirates. Comparison with breast aspirates

Computerized image analysis was employed to analyze fine needle aspiration smears of the prostate and breast using both high-resolution images of individual cells and medium-resolution images of scenes and clusters (contextual analysis). A linear discriminant analysis was used to demonstrate the computer's ability to discriminate between benign and malignant categories for both types of tissue. Correct classification as benign or malignant using contextual analysis was achieved in 22 of 26 prostatic aspirates and in 15 of 18 breast aspirates, as determined by comparison with histology. The addition of high-resolution single-cell analysis resulted in correct classification of 24 of 26 prostatic aspirates and all breast aspirates. For virtually all features, the distinction between benign and malignant was more subtle for prostatic than for breast tissue. The data indicate that contextual analysis may be less effective as an adjunct to high-resolution single-cell microscopy of prostatic specimens than it is for breast specimens.

Manual and semi-automated morphological analysis of Penicillium chrysogenum chemostat cultures

Measurement of key morphological indices of chemostat cultures of Penicillium chrysogenum, by image analysis, was carried out manually at Strathclyde University and semi-automatically at Birmingham University using identical preserved samples. Using both methods, the value of the mean hyphal growth unit was found to decrease with decreasing dilution rate. Although similar trends were observed for data obtained at Strathclyde and Birmingham, the values of key morphological indices measured by semi-automated analysis were consistently higher than the values obtained by manual analysis. This discrepancy was as a result of the different analysis methods, particularly with respect to clump analysis. An electronic image transfer method is discussed which would allow analysis of a given image set at either site by either method. © Rapid Science Ltd. 1998     

Fe3+ immobilized metal affinity chromatography with silica monolithic capillary column for phosphoproteome analysis

Immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) is a commonly used technique for phosphoproteome analysis due to its high affinity for adsorption of phosphopeptides. Miniaturization of IMAC column is essential for the analysis of a small amount of sample. Nanoscale IMAC column was prepared by chemical modification of silica monolith with iminodiacetic acid (IDA) followed by the immobilization of Fe3+ ion inside the capillary. It was demonstrated that Fe3+-IDA silica monolithic IMAC capillary column could specifically capture the phosphopeptides from tryptic digest of alpha-casein with analysis by MALDI-TOF MS. The silica monolithic IMAC capillary column was manually coupled with nanoflow RPLC/nanospray ESI mass spectrometer (muRPLC-nanoESI MS) for phosphoproteome analysis. The system was validated by analysis of standard phosphoproteins and then it was applied to the analysis of protein phosphorylation in mouse liver lysate. Besides MS/MS spectra, MS/MS/MS spectra were also collected for neutral loss peak. After database search and manual validation with conservative criteria, 29 singly phosphorylated peptides were identified by analyzing a tryptic digest of only 12 mug mouse liver lysate. The results demonstrated that the silica monolithic IMAC capillary column coupled with muRPLC-nanoESI MS was very suitable for the phosphoproteome analysis of minute sample.     

Synthesis of a low-molecular-weight form of exopolysaccharide by Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA 110

A novel extracellular low-molecular-weight polysaccharide was detected as a contaminant within extracellular cyclic beta-1,6-beta-1,3-glucan preparations from Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA 110 cultures. Compositional analysis, methylation analysis, and nuclear magnetic resonance analysis revealed that this low-molecular-weight polysaccharide was composed of the same pentasaccharide repeating unit previously described for the high-molecular-weight form of the exopolysaccharide (EPS) synthesized by B. japonicum strains. Mass spectrometry analysis indicated that the size of this low-molecular-weight form of EPS was consistent with a dimeric form of the pentasaccharide repeating unit.     

Contribution of protein fractionation to depth of analysis of the serum and plasma proteomes

In-depth analysis of the serum and plasma proteomes by mass spectrometry is challenged by the vast dynamic range of protein abundance and substantial complexity. There is merit in reducing complexity through fractionation to facilitate mass spectrometry analysis of low-abundance proteins. However, fractionation reduces throughput and has the potential of diluting individual proteins or inducing their loss. Here, we have investigated the contribution of extensive fractionation of intact proteins to depth of analysis. Pooled serum depleted of abundant proteins was fractionated by an orthogonal two-dimensional system consisting of anion-exchange and reversed-phase chromatography. The resulting protein fractions were aliquotted; one aliquot was analyzed by shotgun LC-MS/MS, and another was further resolved into protein bands in a third dimension using SDS-PAGE. Individual gel bands were excised and subjected to in situ digestion and mass spectrometry. We demonstrate that increased fractionation results in increased depth of analysis based on total number of proteins identified in serum and based on representation in individual fractions of specific proteins identified in gel bands following a third-dimension SDS gel analysis. An intact protein analysis system (IPAS) based on a two-dimensional plasma fractionation schema was implemented that resulted in identification of 1662 proteins with high confidence with representation of protein isoforms that differed in their chromatographic mobility. Further increase in depth of analysis was accomplished by repeat analysis of aliquots from the same set of two-dimensional fractions resulting in overall identification of 2254 proteins. We conclude that substantial depth of analysis of proteins from milliliter quantities of serum or plasma and detection of isoforms are achieved with depletion of abundant proteins followed by two-dimensional protein fractionation and MS analysis of individual fractions.     

A Bayesian hierarchical non-linear regression model in receiver operating characteristic analysis of clustered continuous diagnostic data

Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis is a useful evaluative method of diagnostic accuracy. A Bayesian hierarchical nonlinear regression model for ROC analysis was developed. A validation analysis of diagnostic accuracy was conducted using prospective multi-center clinical trial prostate cancer biopsy data collected from three participating centers. The gold standard was based on radical prostatectomy to determine local and advanced disease. To evaluate the diagnostic performance of PSA level at fixed levels of Gleason score, a normality transformation was applied to the outcome data. A hierarchical regression analysis incorporating the effects of cluster (clinical center) and cancer risk (low, intermediate, and high) was performed, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was estimated.     

Chromosomal abnormalities and DNA image cytometry of haematological neoplasms in fine needle aspirates of lymph nodes

The current diagnostics of haematological neoplasms along with morphological analysis, immunophenotyping and molecular analysis inevitably includes cytogenetic analysis. In this work the possibility of cytomorphological subclassification of haematological neoplasms from lymph node fine needle aspirates was examined without depending upon the referential histological diagnosis and cytogenetic analysis. In addition, the feasibility of cytogenetic analysis of the material obtained by lymph node fine needle aspiration (FNA) was examined. By analysing the findings of cytogenetic analysis and DNA image cytometry, it was decided to examine the possibility of comparing the findings and supplementing diagnostic possibilities of these methods. In 15 cases cytological diagnoses and cytogenetic analysis of haematological neoplasms were performed on the material obtained by lymph node FNA. In 12 of 15 cases histological diagnosis was made separately. A good cytohistological correlation was available in 9 of 12 cases (75%). Cytomorphological diagnoses in 10 of 15 cases (76%) were confirmed by the finding of a specific chromosomal translocation. In two cases cytological diagnosis did not correlate with the histological diagnosis and was confirmed only with specific chromosomal translocations. The lymphocytes obtained by lymph node FNA were adequate material for cytogenetic analysis - in 15 of 18 (83%) cases mitoses in cell cultures were obtained. In 13 of 15 (87%) cases clonal chromosomal abnormalities were detected, whereas in 2 of 15 (13%) cases a normal karyotype was found. DNA image cytometry was performed on nine samples, whereas in six samples the material was not sufficient. Although a small number of samples was analysed in the cases with identical cytomorphological diagnoses, the analysed histograms regarding the DNA index values showed heterogeneity. In conclusion, a cell culture sampled by FNA of lymph nodes is an adequate method for the chromosomal analysis. The specific cytogenetic abnormality associated with cytological diagnosis provides an opportunity to make a definitive diagnosis and provides a powerful approach when reference diagnosis on biopsy material cannot be obtained.
